The Cop Vu cameras clip to the front of the officer's uniform and are designed to record interactions with drivers who are pulled over.

"If they are sitting down interviewing somebody or standing interviewing somebody, it's going to pick all of that up, audio and video," said Deputy Chief Hart Daley with the Oxford County Sheriff's Dept.

Daley said the cameras cost $900 each and were paid for through a federal grant.

"It protects the officers' actions and also protects the citizen who's on the street. If they have a complaint against a officer or something like that, we'll be able to refer back to that video and it will show if the officer is doing things by policy and within people's rights," Daley said.

He called the 12 cameras his department got an invaluable tool.

"They can view their video. They can copy it and make copies for the district attorney's office and they can actually capture still photos from the video, but they cannot edit it in any way, shape or form. They cannot delete it in anyway, so the integrity of the system is excellent," Daley said.
